Eurovision - Should This Song Be Banned?

[agchristie]

Ukraine entry for this years contest is directed at Russia...

Songs with political connotations are not permitted but this doesn't stop political voting does it?

I'm with Mickey on this one.

Crikey! I thought this was all about 2nd-rate music! This one seems to be extremely political to me.

Hi Itch

the big three betrayed eastern europe when they met in Livadia didnt they ?
Prince George I seem to recollect was housed there whilst he died from TB - caught from his father I suppose

another thread - right for the wrong reasons where they are discussing if you ignore history are you condemned to repeat it ?

[agchristie]

Jourdain - 2nd rate music? You are aware that not that long ago Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber played the piano for one of the UK entries?

Tut, some people have no taste ;)

[Peter Pedant]

If Chopin had - I might pay attention

[DaisyNonna]

Just ban Eurovision

[agchristie]

PP - nearest you get there is the choppin' and changing. The last decent standard ESC was back in '91 just before Yugoslavia and Russia split up.

Itchy, what do you think? Dalma,Simo,Carola,Bebi Dol,Amina et etc

Elton John also backed a starter group when he appeared on top of the pops
it was years and years ago - and elton sort of likes boys better than girls
